What a man.

Eddie made his usual crazy sign at the jocks on top of his table. You had just peeked through the Cafeteria door's window. You take a sigh before peeking through the door one last time and slipping through.

You looked around the room with wide eyes. "Look the freak had already scared a girl." Mason smiles, "she's new." You scoot away from the jocks and try to scan the room.
That's when you met his eyes.

You make steps towards his table. When your boots squeaked to a stop, you spoke up.
They wanted a player.
And you wanted to be it, so badly. Just to play the game you've read and written and watched ever since. But looking at them. You knew who would love it.
"You need a sub for your campaign," you speak up, and the table looks at you. Eddie jumps down from the table and walks up to you, getting closer and closer.

"Has our prayers been answered?" he says dramatically, your hand goes to your pocket, and you pick out a photo. You and her.
You fold your face out and show it to him. "Her brother was the knight. She's super talented." you smile bitterly. "Yeah, this isn't a babysitting gig." Eddie slides the Polaroid from your fingers and unfolds the surface. With a glance at you, he speaks up.
"And you? You ever play?"

You try to take the picture from him, but he holds it away from you. "She has." "Didn't ask that sweetheart." "I'm a class 8- Level 9 Bard- sea nymph." you begin, "She's a Level 2 Rogue." Eddie grins, "Oh, so you do dabble in the sacred arts.." "Just sub her in. She's better than Lucas." you dig, "oh, is she?"

He puts his ringed hand on his chin, before looking back to his table. With a swift jump, he was on its top again. "I'll make you a deal... This-" "Erica." "Erica- If you survive our side campaign, she's in. But if you die... You have to sub in for our Final Quest." His face landed inches above yours. You look into his eyes.

"I'll survive then," you say smugly, crossing your arms. He crouches down to your level on the table. "Gotta say, this shirt would look good on you princess." you blush lightly before his hand offers you the picture, unfolded. "I'll be there." you turn to the same doors you walked through a minute ago. "Uh, who was that?"
"That's that chic Erica has been hanging around." Dustin answers, "what's her name?" Eddie butts in the whispers. "uh- Y/n I think."
"Glorious."
Eddie takes a bite from his apple.

💫

"So where are you going?" Erica asks, you zip up your boots. "I gotta win this thing so you can get in their club. And then you can play DnD every week." you slide on your jacket. She sighs, "They're a bunch of nerds- watch out." "oh no, they're gonna make me watch Lord of the Rings! Again. Hope it's the 2nd one." she opens her door for you. "Are you going to your brother's game or?" you ask, "Well, are you gonna die tonight?"

You smile and put up your fist. She makes a quick glance around to make sure no one's watching and bumps it with her own. "Hell yeah! See you later. Probably. Might die." You skip off and pop out your roller skates, before zipping away.

You kick your shoes in, skates falling back into its respecting grooves. You see a leading figure at the entrance of the school. Eddie looks up, eyes slightly widening. He didn't think you'd show. Hoped, but didn't quite think so.
"So, you've come to pass my trial?"
"I came to get my rogue in." you walk past him, and he follows you inside the school. "You don't go here. Are you new?" "I- graduated. Probably." you shrug, you weren't legally- existing. Not as Y/n L/n.

"So cryptic. You could just say you're a dropout. Beats failing senior year 3 times." you laugh, "I never passed kindergarten." you both made it into the club room. "Welcome to our lair, Sea Nymph." As his hand gestures continue you explore the walls of the room. You turn back to him when he pats the chair next to him. You felt a light blush grow on your cheeks and sat where you were requested.

You look at the figures on the messy board. "Wow, these are cool." you lay your cheek on the table and explore them with your eyes. "Ah, noticing my god-like craftsmanship?" "I'm here to win hard. Not compliment the enemy." you sit up straight and cross your arms. Eddie grins and leans back with a pout. "And here I thought Atlantis had sworn peace."

"So your stereotyping? How human of you." He blushes but continues with your banter, "Good thing I'm just a voice then huh?" "An evil one for sure." "of course," "Prepare yourself nymph. We start now." everyone's statues were placed on the board. "Our story continues through the back of that rusty mermaid slaughterhouse. As you all exit its murky doors, you spot another figure."

His eyes glance at you. "A sea nymph, determined to find and defeat whoever is running the new league of assassins in the north.."
You place your small figurine next to the others.
"Now, where do we go?"

💫

"You're down to the last hit when- He lowers his thorned staff and casts one last rebuff."
"All land-dwelling avatars fall, except for one."
"Roll or flee?"
The room turns to you. "You're baiting me- and I'm not falling for it." you huff and move your figure strictly. "I use my spear for one last stab, through the heart this time." "Roll."
Eddie hands you the dice.
You shuffle it in your hands.
Erica could really like this club.
Maybe as much as you do.

You sigh and let it drop.
A perfect 20.
The room jolts, before cheering. You wipe the small drop of blood from your nose. "Your gal pal better be ready for tomorrow." Eddie smiles, and you stand up. "She will be. She'll crush whatever your sadistic brain throws at her." Eddie makes a pose before walking to a box behind him. With a quick throw, you caught it.
A hellfire shirt.

"You're free to join us anytime."
You take a look at the shirt and tilt your head like a puppy. "That's convenient. Me and Erica are kind of a package deal."
"So, you'll be accompanying our last duel?"

"She'll need a bodyguard, right?"
